Online Fraud: Online fraud has become a major problem across the country. Most of the sims are used in such online frauds. Most of the fraudsters use new SIM every time. This is the reason why the government is planning to limit the number of SIM cards. As of now only 9 SIM cards can be issued on one ID. However, the government wants to reduce it from 9 to 4. Means, if this happens then people will be able to take only 4 SIMs on one ID. By doing this, online fraud can also be avoided.

According to media reports, Telecom Minister Ashwini Vaishnav is considering limiting the number of SIM cards to four on one ID. The government has also approved the guidelines on the plan to limit SIM cards. These guidelines can soon come among the general public.
